    Need some self care tips? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. It’s a fact that people are burning out. We live in a culture where “being busy” is worn as a badge of honor and free time is a sign of laziness. Think back to the last time you asked someone how they’ve been. The answer will invariably be: busy.

    There’s no doubt that we’re living in chaotic times right now. People are faced with a litany of demands from work, to childcare, to healthcare, to the overarching dread of the pandemic. It’s no wonder that things can get a little stressful. That’s why it’s more important than ever to start investing in self-care. It’s time to start putting yourself first and dedicating time throughout the day to make sure you’re getting the personal care that you need and deserve.

    Self Care

    Here are 7 Important Self Care Tips For Working Professionals

    1. Get enough sleep

    It all starts with sleep. Recent studies have shown that a lack of sleep is at the root of many health problems, and it’s become an epidemic in our society. For your body and mind to function, you need to be well-rested. It’s paramount to recharge the batteries every night to make sure you have the energy to tackle the day. It’s recommended that you get at least 6-9 hours of sleep per night to stay healthy.

    There are different ways to make sure you’re in a relaxed state as bedtime approaches. Avoiding screen time for an hour before bed, drinking a calming tea such as chamomile, or for some, consuming cannabis for its calming effects. It’s important for those interested in trying marijuana to induce a good night’s sleep to buy weed from trusted retailers and try the best kratom capsules .

    2. Have a morning routine

    We’ve all heard of the expression: got up on the wrong side of the bed. It’s important to set the tone for your day from the minute you wake up. And creating a morning routine can be very helpful. Play around and customize a routine that works for you, and when you find one, stick to it.

    Morning Routine - Self Care

    Different things to try to get your day started right can include:

    1. Make your bed as soon as you wake up.

    2. Take 5-10 minutes to practice gratitude.

    3. Try breathing exercises to calm the mind.

    4. Go for a morning run.

    5. Practice yoga.

    6. Eat a healthy breakfast.

    It is important to live healthy and balanced lives. When it comes to your health, it’s true: “knowledge is power.” ActivatedYou is covering everything from healthy diet and lifestyle hacks to the latest in health news.

    3. Keep your workspace organized

    For a lot of people’s mental health, clutter is the enemy. So many of us are working from home right now, and it’s easy to let our work environment get a little out of control. For peace of mind, try to keep a tidy and organized dedicated workspace.

    Get your Marie Kondo on and declutter the heck out of where you will be spending most of your day. This can apply to your home office or the office you commute to. Make life easier on yourself by being able to find things when you need them. Do routine maintenance to organize your folders, both on your physical desktop and your computer desktop. Create a calming space that you enjoy working at.

    4. Make time to exercise

    Exercise is probably the best-known stress buster out there. Be sure to dedicate a portion of your day (at least one hour) to get your sweat on and clear your mind. Studies show that people that exercise for at least an hour per day have lower stress levels and better mental health. No matter how busy you are, there is always time to exercise. Make it a non-negotiable priority.

    5. Go on a digital detox every day

    Computer screens, smartphones, televisions, tablets, e-readers. It’s dizzying. Not to mention too much of it can be harmful to our eyes as well as our mental well-being. Take time to make sure you go completely analog for a portion of your day. Whether it’s sitting back with a paperback in the evening, doing an hour of yoga, or practicing meditation. We all need less screen-time in our lives, so make sure to hit the pause button occasionally.

    6. Take breaks

    Research shows that working non-stop is inefficient and leads to burnout. To work at an optimal level, it’s important to take breaks along the way. One of the best ways to make sure you do this is to apply the Pomodoro system. This handy technique makes sure you are taking at least a five-minute break every 25 minutes of work.

    7. Celebrate your successes

    It can’t be all work and no play. You work hard, so make sure you take the time to reward yourself daily. That could mean happy hour with friends or simply your favorite crossword puzzle with a nice cup of tea. Recognize your hard work and celebrate it.

    Conclusion

    For a lot of us, being busy is just a way of life and is unavoidable. But by applying some of the techniques above, we can ensure that we keep our sanity and maintain our physical and mental health. Remember that there is only one of you, and you want to keep yourself in top shape. Investing in yourself first will ensure that you achieve the balance you need to live a long and enjoyable life.
